Hey guys
I'm calling upon your charitable sides.
I just found out last week that I will be going to SDCC08
I had not planned on going at all until my friends got me a pass on Wednesday.
I spent all my "disposable" income on fixing the house over the last few months
so now I need your help.
I need a place to sleep
1 night, 2 nights, 4 nights, anything
Since I have no money, I can't offer to pay my share
Sucks , I know. Was not my plan to mooch of of you guys, believe me.
That's not how I roll
Perhaps I can trade some mediocre prop painting talents in exchange for floorspace?
I'll not hang out in your rooms all day & become a burden
Just need a place to crash & take aquick shower to de-funk

I'm coming in on Thursday & leaving on Sunday
PM me if you can help

Wish I could help Nathan but things are a bit crazy with the new baby, or else I'd offer my house. I'll pm you my cell so at least if worst comes to worst you can hit me up and I'll do my best to help you out.

Not sure if I'll be able to make CC (I ALWAYS miss it) because I am dead broke right now :eek but we'll see....you guys gotta call me up for dinner though!

Hey Nate,

Let me check with my host. If he's cool with it, you can stay with me but I just have to be sure. No hyperfirm necessary, just got your back.

I will email or PM you with results by tomorrow.

I was wondering if you were going this year, since I hadn't heard from you in awhile, I guess I should be playing more COD4 to catch up !

Yo Gonzo ! Where are you staying this year ? Seeker, our host and I are staying at the Embassy Suites in Embarcadero...its a walk , but its a nice place !

Re: Need a place to sleep for SDCC08 & I'm broke as a joke

i just found out i have a friend that's going down for sdcc. if i get a chance to talk to her i could ask about it. though i have no idea where she's staying. i am going to try to talk her into doing a star wars costume when she gets back too. maybe we could work out some sort of painting arrangement if that pans out.

Hey Jose,
Danny and I are staying at the Days Inn on Ash street with our friends Dan and Randi. It is about a mile away from the convention.

Is Dana staying with you guys?

I can't wait to see all you knuckleheads again. Wandering the streets of downtown SD in the wee hours of the mornings has become a annual tradition. :cheers:lol
